Welcome To This Physician Associate (Student)
This is my website with a little bit more about me with Blog Posts, Templates and lots of handy advice!
What is a Physician Associate? – Physician associates (PAs) are healthcare professionals with a generalist medical education who work alongside doctors and surgeons providing medical care as an integral part of the multidisciplinary team. PAs work under the supervision of a doctor but can work autonomously with appropriate support.
I often describe us as similar to generalist FY1’s who are able to effectively communicate with nursing team
General Advice
PA School is hard – here are my 5 helpful tips…
- Make sure you do research before applying
- Take breaks – you deserve them
- When in doubt ask for help!
- Learn on family & friends – the course is intense.
- Enjoy it – they are the hardest but best 2yrs.
Gift Ideas
There are plenty of PA themed merch and cool gifts…check out my page on recommendations (and present ideas).
Revising
There is a large volume of information we have to know! Therefore I though I would put my advice in one handy spot for you all!
- Compile all information in one place (from pre-reading, lectures and additional reading).
- Summarise into 1 page for each condition on the matrix.
- Use this to work through and revise through.
- Anything you struggle with make que card.
- Go through mock question banks on these subjects.
